- the header may also include information that can be used to determine a number of packets being transmitted within a data stream. For example, a sequence number may be used for each packet to indicate the sequence of the packet within the stream. Because of any number of problems that may be encountered in a communication system, however, some packets of data may not reach their intended destinations. As a result of a receiver missing a number of packets and the information not reaching its intended destination, the integrity of the communication system may be compromised.
- FEC forward error correction
- the FEC code can function to correct errors as needed and to also fill in missing data due to a channel change when a new data stream is joined in the middle of a group of pictures (GOP).
- GOP group of pictures
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a communication system 10 .
- the communication system 10 may be any system or network for transferring data, such as, for example, an Internet protocol television (IPTV) network for carrying digital video signals.
- IPTV Internet protocol television
- the communication system 10 may transfer audio and video signals, encoded and compressed, for example, according to established standards, e.g. MPEG-2.
- MPEG-2 Internet protocol television
- the communication system 10 attempts to compensate for the missed packets.
- the communication system 10 includes a number of communication devices 12 arranged in a multicast configuration. Regarding multicast schemes, certain communication devices 12 can create copies of the data and transmit the data to a group of destinations simultaneously over multiple communication links 14 .

- the source 12 S may also transmit, along with the data, a certain amount of FEC code to one or more intended recipients. Data is transmitted on one multicast channel while the FEC code is typically transmitted on a different multicast channel.
- the receiver 12 R may be any component in the communication system 10 that receives data from an upstream device.
- upstream and downstream are used herein to refer to transfer of signals in one particular direction and are merely used for illustrative purposes. However, it should be recognized that data transfer might be directed in the opposite direction such that a downstream device transmits data to an upstream device.
- the receiver 12 R may be, among others, an end device, such as a computer, set-top box (STB), modem, etc.
- STB set-top box
- the receiver 12 R may be located in a customer premises, such as a home, office, school, etc., and/or may distribute data to other downstream receivers.
- the communication link 14 between the source 12 S and receiver 12 R can be any suitable transmission path or channel and may contain transmission lines, wireless channels, fiber optic, or combinations of these or other types of communication links. Also, other communication devices 12 may be communicatively interposed between the source 12 s and receiver 12 R . In addition, the source and receiver may be located anywhere in the communication system 10 and separated by any distance.
- data is transmitted to a group of receivers in a first multicast group.
- a certain amount of FEC code, transmitted with the data, is sent in a second multicast group.
- the timing of the FEC code with respect to the data is managed in order to reduce the channel-change time.
- the receivers configured to tune to the first multicast group are also configured to tune to the second multicast group to receive both data and FEC code.
- the particular use of multicast channels may be dependent upon the last-mile technology of the communication system 10 .
- the source 12 S and receiver 12 R can be implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof. If the source 12 S and receiver 12 R contain software or firmware for performing the disclosed functions, the software or firmware may be stored in a memory and executed by a suitable instruction execution system. If implemented in hardware, the source 12 S and receiver 12 R can be implemented, for example, with discrete logic circuitry, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable gate array (PGA), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or any suitable combination of logic components.
- ASIC application specific integrated circuit
- PGA programmable gate array
- FPGA field programmable gate array
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment, illustrated in a simplified form, of the source 12 S shown in FIG. 1 .
- the source 12 S may be configured to operate in conjunction with the receiver 12 R as described below with respect to FIG. 4 or with any suitable receiver having corresponding circuitry and/or functionality for receiving data and FEC code.
- the source 12 S may be a multiplexer, digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM), decoder, router, digital contact manager (DCM), video acceleration module (VAM), edge device, or other communication device that transfers data to another location or component.
- DSLAM digital subscriber line access multiplexer
- DCM digital contact manager
- VAM video acceleration module
- edge device or other communication device that transfers data to another location or component.
- the source 12 S may be located at a head-end facility, central office, node, or at other locations in the communication system 10 .
- the source 12 S includes, among other things, a processor 20 , a buffer 22 , and a driver 24 .
- the buffer 22 receives streams of data packets from another source or group of sources.
- the driver 24 may include any suitable component or combination of components for outputting, driving, or transmitting signals to one or more destination devices.
- the driver 24 may be configured to communicate with one receiver, or, in the case of a multicast system, with multiple receivers.
- the processor 20 is configured to access the packets from the buffer 22 and calculate FEC code designed to overcome a certain amount of missed data. It should be understood, however, that the processor 20 may use any suitable algorithms for creating the FEC.
- the processor 20 stores the calculated FEC code in the buffer 22 .
- the processor instructs the driver 24 to transmit the data packets and FEC from the buffer 22 along the communication link 14 to the receiver 12 R or receivers.
- the driver 24 is configured to transmit the FEC in a time-delayed manner with respect to the corresponding data. In some embodiments, the FEC is transmitted with an offset in time of about half of a GOP length.
- the FEC in addition to correcting error, can also be used to reduce the time that it takes to change from one channel to another, as is explained in more detail below.
- the FEC may be interleaved with the data or appended to the data and transmitted on the same multicast channel.
- other transmission techniques may be used as well.
- the relationship between the time of transmission of the data and the time of transmission of the FEC may be variable and may depend on other factors as described herein.
- the processor 20 is also configured to encode the data in a GOP structure, which is established for each particular channel.
- the GOP structure includes a header, the GOP data, and a trailer, as depicted in FIG. 5 .
- the GOP data may include any number of frames.
- a first frame is referred to as an intra-frame, or I-frame, which maintains much of its original form without significant compression.
- the GOP data also includes forward prediction frames (P-frames) and bidirectional prediction frames (B-frames). P-frames are encoded based on the difference values of previous frames and B-frames are encoded based on the difference values of previous and/or later frames.
- the algorithms for encoding and compressing frames to achieve P-frames and B-frames are more complex than those for I-frames, but the resulting bandwidth of P-frames and B-frames is less than the bandwidth of the I-frames, thereby allowing for the transmission of an entire GOP structure that can be used to produce high quality pictures.
- the processor 20 also encodes the header of the GOP structure, which includes information that defines a relationship between the GOP data and the FEC.
- the header is also encoded with synchronization information that described how the GOP is protected.
- the synchronization information may include information related to the delay between a particular frame of the GOP and its associated FEC data. Based on this information, the receiver 12 R can align the FEC with the GOP to fill in any gaps where the GOP data is missed due to errors. In the additional occurrence of a channel change, the FEC is used to fill in portions of the GOP that were missed due to joining the stream in the middle of the GOP.
- the GOP structure also includes header and trailer information that defines the boundaries of the data stream packets.
- the source 12 S receives or acquires data in any suitable manner and processes the data to determine FEC code.
- the FEC code may be in any suitable form created using any suitable encoding algorithm or combination of algorithms, such as Pro-MPEG, Raptor, or others.
- the data packets may be laid out in an array having R rows and C columns, as depicted in FIG. 3 .
- the FEC may be calculated by determining an exclusive-OR (XOR) of the packets in each row to achieve a number R of row XORs and an XOR of the packets in each column to achieve a number C of column XORs.
- XOR exclusive-OR
- the total number of FEC portions is R+C, which is sufficient, in some scenarios, to handle up to R+C missed packets, which is an extremely deep FEC.
- packet ( 1 , 2 ) were dropped, for example, the dropped packet can be restored using packets ( 1 , 0 ), ( 1 , 1 ), ( 1 , 3 ) through ( 1 , C), and XOR (( 1 , 0 )-( 1 , C)). Instead of using the row XOR and other packets of the row, packet ( 1 , 2 ) can also be restored using the packets of the same column and the column XOR.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment, illustrated in a simplified form, of the receiver 12 R shown in FIG. 1 .
- the receiver 12 R may operate in conjunction with the source 12 S shown in FIG. 2 or with another respective source having related functionality for transmitting data and corresponding FEC that is offset in time to reduce channel-change times.
- the receiver 12 R may be configured as or incorporated within, among other devices, a set-top box, computer, modem, VAM, etc.
- the receiver 12 R includes, among other things, a processor 30 , a buffer 32 , and an input device 34 .
- the input device 34 may include one or more tuners for tuning to a particular frequency channel, which may correspond to a “television channel”, for example.
- the input device 34 includes at least one tuner for each respective channel.
- the GOP and FEC are transmitted on the same channel and the input device 34 may include a single tuner in this case.
- the input device 34 receives the incoming data packets and FEC, the data and FEC can be stored in the buffer 32 .
- the processor 30 accesses the data and FEC from the buffer 32 to determine the condition of the received data. By analyzing the header, or particularly the sequence numbers in the headers of the data packets, to determine the packets that were transmitted, the processor 30 can determine if any packets were not received. If the FEC is sufficient to recover the missed packet or packets, then the transmission is considered a success. In this case, the data packets are corrected or restored, if necessary, and transmitted to the next communication device 12 , if any, in the communication system 10 .
- the processor 30 decodes the frames of the GOP and stores frame data in a frame buffer (not shown) of the buffer 32 . The frame data can then be read out to a television set (not shown) or other display device at designated time intervals, e.g. 30 frames per second.
- the GOP as defined in the embodiments described herein includes 15 frames. However, it should be understood that the GOP may be set with any number of frames. For a 15-frame GOP used in a system that displays 30 frames per second, the GOP is decoded and displayed within about 500 ms, or about half a second. When a channel change occurs, the time of the change may be any time during the 500 ms GOP band. However, since the frames cannot usually be decoded without the I-frame, if all or part of the I-frame is missed, then the receiver of the prior art is forced to wait until the next GOP is received. In this respect, the channel change may take up to 900 ms, which may be undesirable for most viewers.
- the present disclosure provides a way to utilize the FEC to fill in the data of the intermediate GOP tuned to in midstream.
- 500 ms worth of data can read in about 250 ms, where about half of the data or more is decoded from the GOP itself while up to about half of the data is decoded from the FEC. Since the FEC can be decoded in about 10 ms, the FEC may be shifted forward in time to compensate for the decoding time. In this way, the FEC is effectively offset by about half the bandwidth of the GOP.
- the processor 30 decodes the GOP and FEC simultaneously during a channel change and can fill the buffer 32 in about 250 ms or less.
- the present disclosure can provide channel-change times that, even in the worst case, may be up to a half second or more faster than the worst case of the prior art. This results in a more responsive channel-changing process, which is likely to be more desirable for a viewer.
- the data size, or “quanta”, of the GOP may be variable, since it is based on scene complexity.
- the GOP data may be transmitted using a constant bit rate (CBR) or a variable bit rate (VBR).
- CBR constant bit rate
- VBR variable bit rate
- the transmission time, or “protection period”, taken to send the quanta is directly proportional to the quanta.
- VBR stream variable bit rate
- the protection period is variably proportional to the quanta.
- the time offset of the FEC with respect to the GOP is dependent on the protection period, which is dependent on the quanta.
- the FEC may be encoded such that it is capable of being used during a channel-change event that just misses the I-frame.
- “just missing” the I-frame may be a time of channel change that occurs within about 0-100 ms after the end of the I-frame.
- the processor 30 is also configured to determine whether to decode using the GOP, FEC, or both, during a channel change event. Also, the processor 30 also determines what proportion of each to decode.
- the processor 30 may include or access software for determining which code or portions of code to use. By receiving a quanta worth of data, the processor 30 can generate the GOP frames and fill the buffer 32 in about 250 ms.
- the processor 30 is further capable of determining where the channel change occurred with respect to the entire length of GOP. In this respect, only the last frames of the GOP are stored in the buffer 32 , as subsequently displayed, wherein the number of the last frames depends on where the channel change occurred. Therefore, when the first whole GOP structure is received and decoded without the assistance of the FEC, provided that no error correction is needed, then the I-frame of the next GOP structure is displayed immediately after the last P-frame or B-frame of the previous GOP. Otherwise, a noticeably distracting skip in time may occur after a channel change.
- the method of processing the GOP and FEC during a channel change event may comprise an ordered listing of executable instructions for implementing logical functions as discussed above.
- the instructions and programs for executing these functions can be embodied in any computer-readable medium for use in or by an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.
- a “computer-readable medium” can be any medium that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.
- the scope of the present disclosure is intended to include the functionality of the disclosed embodiments configured with logic in hardware and/or software mediums.
- FIG. 5 is a chart illustrating exemplary timing characteristics of GOP structures and FEC.
- Each GOP structure includes a header, GOP data, and a trailer.
- GOP 1 is shown in a stream with other GOP structures.
- Each GOP structure may be about 500 ms, but may be variable based on the complexity of the scenes. For example, when the frames include simple images and do not change significantly from frame to frame, the coding of the GOP can be simple. However, when the frames include a greater amount of image complexity and/or a greater amount of movement or scene changing, for example, then the coding of the GOP can be more complex.
- the GOP data in this example includes 15 frames having a pattern of I-frames, B-frames, and P-frames of IBB_PBB_PBB_PBB_PBB. This pattern or other patterns may be used and are usually established on a per-channel basis.
- the processor 30 decodes either the header of the GOP or the header information decoded from the lagging FEC. From the information decoded from the header, the processor 30 can determine the number of frames in the new channel's GOP and its pattern of frames. From the header, the processor 30 can also determine the relationship between the GOP and FEC, such as lag time, etc.
- the header and trailer may be adjusted as needed to fill the 500 ms timeframe. Also, the bit rate may be changed as needed to maintain a constant stream. Alternatively, the GOP structures may slightly overlap if necessary. In this case, some data may be dropped.
- FIG. 5 also illustrates 15 time periods spanning 500 ms and representing an example of the frame display times.
- the frame can be displayed in time period “I”.
- the two subsequent B-frames can be displayed in time periods B 1 and B 2 .
- the next frame (a P-frame) can be displayed in time period P 1 , and so on.
- the processing time may be different from the time shown and may be faster or slower than the illustrated timing.
- FEC 1 represents the FEC that corresponds to GOP 1 and lags the GOP by about 250 ms. In some embodiments, the FEC may be placed to account for just missing the I-frame.
- the I-frame of the GOP may be received in full, but other times the I-frame may be missed partially or totally.
- the portion of the FEC related to the missed part of the I-frame can be used to augment the I-frame to enable recreation of the I-frame.
- the FEC related to the I-frame can be used to completely recreate the I-frame.
- the FEC may also be used to recreate, partially or totally, the P-frames and B-frames as needed.
- the FEC is encoded to include substantially the same timing characteristics as the GOP and is substantially similar to the GOP with respect to quanta, protection period, bit rate, etc.
- the lag time may be about 250 ms.
- an approximate shift may be made to the FEC phase. In this respect, the lag time is decreased slightly.
- the timing of the FEC may also depend on the protection period of the GOP. By offsetting the FEC by an ideal lag time with respect to the GOP, the time to fill the buffer 32 with 500 ms of frames (15 frames) may take as little as 250 ms.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 the functional operations of the communication system 10 is described. Although particular references may be made to the physical elements illustrated in FIGS. 1 , 2 , and 4 , it should be understood that the following processes, steps, functions, or operations may be performed by any suitable components as will be understood by one of reasonable skill in the art.
- FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating an embodiment of a method 40 for processing data and FEC during normal operation.
- the method 40 includes receiving data and FEC, as shown in block 42 .
- the data may be audio and/or image data and may be encoded and/or compressed according to audio/video standards, such as the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) standards.
- MPEG Moving Picture Experts Group
- the data may be arranged in a GOP structure.
- the data is decoded.
- decision block 46 it is determined whether or not any errors occur in the decoded data. If it is determined that there are no errors, the flow chart proceeds to block 52 . If errors do exist, then the process moves to block 48 , where the FEC is decoded. In block 50 , the FEC is used to correct the detected errors, if possible.
- the decoded data and/or restored data are stored as image data in a buffer.
- the buffer may be a memory device having a frame buffer for storing frames.
- the buffer may store the images in a frame format or field format.
- the frames are retrieved from the buffer and transmitted to a display device, e.g. television set, for display.
- FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating an embodiment of a method 60 for processing data and FEC during a channel change event.
- the method 60 may be carried out by a device that receives image data.
- the receiving device may be a set-top box or other suitable processing device for feeding image signals to a display device, such as a television set.
- the method 60 includes receiving an indication that a channel change has been requested, as indicted by block 62 .
- a viewer may request that a new channel be displayed by any number of entry mechanisms, such as pressing control buttons on the set-top box, pressing up or down buttons on a remote control, pressing number buttons on a remote control, etc.
- the method proceeds to block 64 .
- the receiver tunes to the new channel to receive the data.
- the receiver also receives corresponding FEC code.
- the FEC code may be transmitted on the same multicast channel as the regular data or may be transmitted on a different channel. If the FEC code is transmitted on a different channel, the receiver tunes to both the channel for the data and the FEC channel.
- the data and FEC is decoded.
- the data and FEC may be decoded simultaneously to decrease the overall channel-change time.
- the FEC is used to recreate frames of the new channel that were missed.
- the FEC is preferably offset in time to allow receiving portions of the data that were transmitted (and missed) before the channel-change request.
- the FEC is used to help recreate earlier frames of a GOP to be used for processing the real-time frames. Since the FEC is designed to correct errors, it should be noted that during a channel change, the FEC can be used to fill in data that is missed on account of joining the data stream in the middle of the GOP.
- the receiving (block 64 ), decoding (block 66 ), and frame constructing (block 68 ) can be completed in about half the time that a full GOP can usually be created.
- the images recreated with the help of the FEC are stored in a buffer.
- the buffer may be designed to be able to store the last number of frames of the particular GOP that was tuned to midstream when the channel change is initially requested.
- the images are read out of the buffer and transmitted to a display device, which displays the images.
- each block may represent a module, segment, or portion of code, which may be configured in software.
- Each block comprises one or more executable instructions for implementing the specified logical function(s).
- the functions noted in the blocks may occur out of the order shown or described or may not occur at all.
- two or more blocks may be executed substantially concurrently, depending upon the functionality involved.
- Alternative embodiments are considered to be included within the scope of the present disclosure as would be understood by those reasonably skilled in the art.
- Conditional language such as “can,” “could,” “might,” or “may,” among others, is generally intended to convey, unless specifically stated otherwise, or otherwise understood within the context, that certain embodiments include, while other embodiments do not include, certain features, elements, and/or steps. Thus, such conditional language is not generally intended to imply that features, elements and/or steps are in any way required for one or more embodiments or that one or more embodiments necessarily include logic for deciding, with or without user input or prompting, whether these features, elements and/or steps are included or are to be performed in any particular embodiment.
